We sell multiple motion detectors. The motion detectors we sell are very similar and use the same ultrasonic technology. The choice of which to buy depends primarily on the other equipment you will be using to collect data.

Go Direct Motion Detector

Go Direct® Motion Detector (GDX-MD)

This is our most popular motion detector. It connects directly to your mobile device, Chromebook, or computer using our Graphical Analysis app or our subscription-based Graphical Analysis Pro upgrade. Go Direct Sensors can connect via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth without additional equipment or software purchases. It can also connect to LabQuest 2 or LabQuest 3. A rechargeable battery is pre-installed. This is the best choice for new users who have no interfaces, or who are using mobile devices in the classroom.


Motion Detector

Motion Detector (MD-BTD)

To collect data with this motion detector, you need to connect it to a Vernier interface. If you already own one, or are planning to purchase a Vernier interface, the Motion Detector is most likely the most cost-effective option. Supported interfaces include LabQuest 3, LabQuest 2, Original LabQuest, LabQuest Stream, LabQuest Mini, LabPro, CBL 2, and TI-Nspire Lab Cradle. Use this sensor with Logger Pro 3 or Logger Lite computer software, LabQuest App (any version), or Graphical Analysis app or our subscription-based Graphical Analysis Pro upgrade for computers, Chromebooks, and mobile devices. It ships with a Digital Sensor Cable (MDC-BTD).


Go!Motion

Go! Motion (GO-MOT)

This motion detector is a USB-only direct-connect sensor for use with Logger Pro 3 or Logger Lite computer software, LabQuest devices (any model), and Graphical Analysis or Graphical Analysis Pro on Computer or Chromebook. USB cable is included. The Go!Motion can also be connected to a LabQuest 3, LabQuest 2, Original LabQuest, LabQuest Stream, LabQuest Mini, LabPro, CBL 2, and TI-Nspire Lab Cradle (using a Digital Sensor Cable (MDC-BTD), sold separately.)


Texas Instruments CBR 2

CBR 2 (CBR2)

If you want to connect a motion detector directly to your TI graphing calculator, without the use of an interface, the CBR 2 is the option for you. It connects directly to a TI-73 Explorer, TI-82, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84 Plus, TI-86, TI-89, TI-92, TI-92 Plus, TI-Nspire, TI-Nspire CAS, or TI Voyage 200 calculator. In addition, the CBR 2 can be connected to a CBL, CBL 2, TI-Nspire Lab Cradle, LabPro, LabQuest devices (any model), LabQuest Stream, or LabQuest Mini (using a Digital Sensor Cable (MDC-BTD), sold separately).

The CBR 2 comes with a Go!Motion to Calculator Cable (TI-GMC-IO) and Go!Motion to Calculator Mini-USB port (TI-GMUSB) for connecting to calculators.

To connect a CBR 2 to a computer or Chromebook, you need a Go!Motion to Computer Cable (GMC-USB), sold separately.
